Very dubious!
September 12, 2025

This is a very manipulative and dubious platform, they are full of hidden fees and unstable services. My withdrawal has been pending for 3 months and nothing had been done. My money was refunded by the expert team on my profile photo, I have been paid easily and without problems.

Following some unreal broker on ig, I end up losing my saving money and profits. With the help of "' r. O. c. K. p. I. l. E. l" I was able to recover my funds and I am Investing via wiki help desks because they are secure, fast and reliable.

I was lucky, CWPSC
June 16, 2025

I also lost a large amount of money to these guys. They kept telling me the money was available to withdraw, but I had to pay for this and that first. I ended up paying twice, hoping that would be it — but then they came up with more excuses and tried to convince me to deposit even more to "meet a threshold" of 300,000 EUR. A lady even called me, sounded very convincing, but by that point I had done my own digging and realized it was all fake. They weren't who they claimed to be, and my money was already gone. Thankfully, I decided to take action recently, find by googling cwpsc — and I'm so glad I did. I truly thought my losses were permanent. This is not a company I'd recommend to anyone. Please stay away. It's not worth the pain, stress, and financial loss. Not everyone is lucky like I was.

Delusional
May 17, 2025

It's complete delusion to think if they are refusing to release your funds they will do so when you lay complaints there's no such thing from them just file a complaint like I did and sue them with good security firms like Urfa.io makes life a lot easier than writing a million words

Welp, they completely screwed up our taxes. We have had to pay penalties and fines because THEY are having major issues with their tax reporting software. We have to probably hire an attorney now to clear it all up. It's costing thousands of dollars.
AND
You better hope you NEVER have a family member who needs you to do power of attorney for ANY reason. They will make you submit forms, get notarized documents, etc. NUMEROUS TIMES. THEN will tell you that THEY gave you the "wrong one". You try to call in with the account holder on the line, they deny. SO, you try to go to an office with the account holder, no appointments available and VERY few locations, making it very difficult for someone older/infirm to do ANYTHING they need to do. They will NOT help. Foreign people answer phones and have NO IDEA what to do if what you need or ask isn't in their script-book. They deliberately wait, drag things out, won't return calls and obfuscate their own policies and withhold access to YOUR LOVED ONE's FUNDS until something happens to them, then they will likely "absorb" said funds. THEY ARE SCAMMERS. DO NOT USE E-TRADE!
We moved ALL of our money OUT. Trust broken. End of.

It sucks to be a user of theirs honestly It was ridiculous of me to even try using them in the first place! From the name alone, I should have expected the foolery. I didn't even see it coming, thankfully! I was only a victim for a short while. These scammers messed with the wrong person. No way was I going to leave almost $200,000 with them. I took the law into my own hands, reported them to a security firm, urfa.io, and I was able to pull out my withheld money. For all victims like me, do the same and file a complaint.

I firmly alert against drawing in with E*TRADE, as my experience proposes they work as a trick organization. Be careful about any contribution, as it might bring about monetary misfortune and negative outcomes. I've gotten my cash back and that was just way I could go about it. I found support from. (I Involved THEIR Site URL AS MY Showcase NAME AND PROFILE PICTURE ON THIS Audit INCASE YOU Want Assistance AND Believe Should Connect with THEM). Note: I did this on account of the severe arrangement here and truly I simply need to help whatever number individuals as would be prudent to get their cash back.

Beware scam!
March 26, 2025

I had an awful experience with E*Trade. I trusted them with my investment, but when I needed access to my funds, they suddenly became unavailable. Customer support was a nightmare—they kept giving me the runaround, avoiding my questions, and offering no real solutions. It felt like I had lost everything. Thankfully, Zelrit LLP stepped in, took action, and helped me recover my money. I can't thank them enough for their help.

Horrible customer service
February 25, 2025

The wait times on hold are ridiculous 20-30 minutes just to get someine on the phone. Then, they again put you on hold. One representative will ask for certain credentials or informtion to get into the account while others ask for additional information. Very frustrating...

Wish there was an option for ZERO stars.
After having an account with E*trade for 2 years, they suddenly locked me out and I now have to prove to them that I am the actual account owner by submitting a bunch of personal documents certified by a notary even though these documents had already been provided when the account was originally opened. They are essentially holding my money hostage.

They are Clueless...
December 13, 2024

My Roth IRA account has been restricted since 2019. This whole year, I have been trying to either get it unrestricted or transfer my money out. It is ridiculous that this issue is still unresolved. It is worth filing a complaint with FINRA, moving my accounts elsewhere, and passing along knowledge of this long-running issue to others so they can be aware.

Illegal Operations!
December 13, 2024

AVOID E*TRADE AT ALL COSTS!

Absolute Nightmare Customer Service Experience

I've been trapped in a two-month bureaucratic hellscape trying to unlock my brokerage account. Despite repeatedly submitting all required documentation (W9 and Social Security card), E*Trade refuses to unlock my account.

CRITICAL ISSUES:
- Endless phone calls (45-90 minutes each time)
- Constant runaround from customer service
- Perpetually "busy" managers who never resolve anything
- COMPLETELY BLOCKED from trading or selling stocks
- SUBSTANTIAL FINANCIAL LOSSES due to their incompetence

Their system is fundamentally broken. I've lost THOUSANDS of dollars while they play bureaucratic games. This feels like financial imprisonment. No company should be allowed to prevent a customer from accessing their own investments.

Run, don't walk, away from E*Trade. They are a nightmare for investors.

Despite the fact that my case was valid, customer service did not respond upon my request even after a few exchange emails. Had it not been for S I M O N C H's intervention, I would have ended myself deeply in debt and lost all of my money, including the account.
They saved me and returned all of my money.

I never thought I'd see my money again after falling victim to a devious broker scam. The company seemed legitimate at first, but soon vanished with my hard-earned savings. I was devastated and lost hope until I discovered MONEIO RECLAIM. Their team of experts worked tirelessly on my case, navigating the complex world of online fraud with remarkable skill. To my amazement, they successfully recovered every penny I had lost. Their professionalism, determination, and expertise were truly impressive. They turned my nightmare into a success story, proving that there's hope for scam victims. If you've been defrauded, don't hesitate to reach out to them - they're the real deal in fund recovery.
